Chapter 488: Opera and Comedy

Since the four directors exist in this program as mentors, there is naturally competition between them as well.

When the time comes, there will be live audience voting, and in the camps with low vote counts, someone will face Elimination.

At this moment, perhaps some might want to say that the stage genres are all different, so such a comparison is actually not Fairness.

But isn't this more realistic and more cruel?

In life, when a movie is released, aren't the movie genres in the same time slot varied?

For the audience, the only standard is actually whether it is good to watch or not, and whether they like it or not.

Due to the cruel competition format, everyone will also—observe the enemy's situation.

Director Wang Rong has the strongest sense for variety shows; after all, he comes from an Actor background and has even been a resident guest on reality shows.

He is not only observing others' lineups, but his expressions are also varied.

"Director Li Dongliang has brought almost his entire core team, tsk tsk tsk."

"Director Fang Jie is the same; among that group of people, there are a full five screenwriters I recognize or am familiar with alone!"

"Over at Luo Mo's side... huh?"

"Almost forgot, he himself is a gold-medal screenwriter!"

Although Wang Rong is flattering him with his words, he actually still thinks in his heart that Luo Mo needs a helper.

After he transitioned from an Actor to a director, he himself also participated in screenwriting work.

Every movie he has released has his own name in the screenwriter column.

Wang Rong considers his own screenwriting ability to be quite good in genres like Comedy and Romance.

But this is a variety show, and it follows a fast-paced route.

Many things cannot be slowly polished, and time is also limited.

Even if your ability is strong, your energy, your body, and your brain will also be unable to hold up.

Holding multiple positions is not necessarily a good thing.

The program production team has set all the time limits.

One must learn to delegate work to others.

Wang Rong thinks in his heart: "Luo Mo probably doesn't have much contact with screenwriters on a daily basis, and he also came in a rush."

"I'll see if there's any place I can help him later."

He likes Luo Mo's works very much, and also likes his songs, so he has a natural good impression of him.

Moreover, Luo Mo's status and influence in the circle now cannot be underestimated; whether based on realistic reasons or personal reasons, Wang Rong is willing to be on good terms with Luo Mo.

Li Dongliang and Fang Jie also glanced at the situation on Luo Mo's side, then shook their heads slightly.

"Young people, in some aspects, their experience is still lacking."

"They don't know how to adapt to circumstances."

Luo Mo, who is in the area on the far right of the hall, also looked to the left.

"So many people." He uttered the exclamation made by a certain Zhou-surnamed Grand Slam film queen on the red carpet on Earth.

"Let's go, back to our preparation room." Luo Mo said to the people behind him first.

Because he discovered that the people in his own camp were somewhat intimidated by the scene of the three enemy sides having such a large crowd.

Acting is a profession that requires a sense of conviction, and he does not want the people in his camp to have their convictions shaken.

At this time, the door to the preparation room no longer had a nameplate with a "question mark" on it, but was instead pasted with Luo Mo's name.

It is very strange; many people looked at this door, looked at this nameplate, and then looked at the Back Shadow of this young man, and inexplicably felt a bit more at ease.

As everyone knows, Luo Mo... has almost never lost.

After entering the preparation room, Luo Mo let everyone sit for a while and take a rest.

He himself opened his laptop, put on his headphones, and began to constantly watch something.

He is thinking about what kind of script to choose, and also thinking about which actors to select.

"There are too many excellent Comedy works."

"The key lies in whether they are suitable for these people."

"At the same time, some works should be used to make movies; compressing the Drama and duration to put them on a variety show stage is a bit too much of a loss," Luo Mo thought.

After having some ideas, he put down his headphones and said with a smile: "How about this, those who want to try participating in the first short film, raise your hands and let me see."

"Swish—" In an instant, 8 people raised their hands directly.

Then, two more people raised their hands hesitantly.

Most of those who did not raise their hands were the older ones, who had their own ideas.

Or, there were other reasons.

The most interesting thing is that Song Ge was one of the two who raised their hands hesitantly.

"I cannot lose in terms of momentum, I cannot get stage fright," he said to himself.

Damn it, the program is going to be broadcast.

When the time comes, who knows how many silly viewers in the bullet comments will laugh at Laozi!

Therefore, after hesitating for a few seconds, he raised his hand with great force, as if he were signing up to go to the battlefield.

Luo Mo scanned these people with his gaze, and then began the audition.

Before the audition, he said: "Comedy, in my view, is one of the hardest to perform among movie genres."

"To put it simply, for the same script and the same joke, a powerful Actor comes and it is funny, while some people just cannot achieve that point."

"The text is sometimes only one aspect; your expressions, your body language, your eyes... there are too many important things."

"I only have one requirement for today's audition."

"Laugh!"

He had everyone who raised their hands stand in a row, then start laughing one by one, according to his Requirement……. Laugh!

——《Give Grandpa a Smile》.

When he said "happy laugh," everyone had to laugh happily.

When he said "sad laugh," everyone had to laugh sadly.

There were also shy laughs, cute laughs, self-deprecating laughs, ashamed laughs…….

Sometimes, he would even provide a scenario.

During this process, Song Ge was the most miserable.

He had to listen to Luo Mo's commands; internally he was extremely resistant, yet his body had to give it his all.

He didn't want to listen to Luo Mo's direction, but he wanted even less to perform a total mess and then be mocked by the audience.

"Endure, Song Ge, you must endure."

"Endure until Director Tian returns, and everything will be over!"

At the same time, he kept a Heart Eye in his heart.

Song Ge felt that it was very likely Luo Mo wouldn't choose him at all, and wouldn't give him the chance to perform his script.

In that case, the better he performed right now, the more it would make Luo Mo look narrow-minded after he was eliminated by Luo Mo.

By then, he could still buy a few marketing account posts to strike a blow at Luo Mo!

Hmm, the Water Emperor is really quite confident in his own acting skills!

He really feels that he is performing very well!

But it must be said, the little Water Emperor Song still has a bit of acting skill in him; otherwise, in dramas and movies, who could tell that he is actually a fool in real life?

Finally, Luo Mo smiled and said, "That's enough."

"Chen Cai, Du Bin, you two stay, the others can go back and sit down to rest first," Luo Mo said.

The crowd returned to their seats with varying expressions, leaving Chen Cai and Du Bin standing there, their bodies tensed up.

After sitting back in his seat, Song Ge sized these two people up.

"Hmph, he really just jumps into the pit himself," Song Ge felt Luo Mo was somewhat ridiculous.

"This Chen Cai, isn't he from Xinyu!"

"He directly kept one of his own people, kept a connection hire!"

"And it's even a connection hire who originally debuted as a Singer."

As for Du Bin, he looked a bit older than Chen Cai, had been slightly popular in his early years, acted in a few movies and TV series, but later, because of a lawsuit with his company, he was delayed for a few years and gradually faded into obscurity.

Luo Mo didn't care what others thought; anyway, he just felt these two performed the best.

The feeling Chen Cai gave him was that he was a bit cowardly, a bit sleazy, but also revealed a bit of cuteness, making it impossible to dislike him.

This is a very good sense of Comedy, and his audience appeal will also be very good.

As for Du Bin, his acting is very natural and won't make people feel awkward.

Most importantly, he read their profiles, and through their profiles, he directly confirmed his idea and decided which script to use.

At this very moment, the remaining contestants sitting in their seats had mixed thoughts.

What they couldn't understand most was: "Director Luo doesn't intend to only use two people, right?"

Some women were thinking: "Does he not want a single woman?"

The yin and yang are out of balance!

"Director Luo, I am very capable!"

But Luo Mo's next sentence made everyone freeze for a moment.

He looked at Chen Cai and Du Bin and said, "Have you both……. studied Opera?"

Both nodded one after another.

Chen Cai said, "I studied for 3 years when I was a child."

Du Bin was about to speak, but Luo Mo smiled and said, "I know, you are the eldest grandson of Elder Du, born into an Opera family."

Hearing this, Song Ge's eyes lit up even more.

"Good fellow, it turns out both of them might be connection hires!"

The rest were incomparably annoyed.

"Who could have thought that a specialty could sometimes have such a wonderful use?"

"Doesn't this just happen to hit Director Luo's personal preferences!"

Luo Mo looked at them and said, "I will tailor a script for you."

Once these words were spoken, the whole room was shocked.

But many people had a large amount of confusion in their hearts.

"Opera?"

"Comedy?"

Can these two have anything to do with each other?
